What it's like to stay awake
Clenching your eyes shut
Wishing what you feel wasn't regret.
Until You Know
What it's like to hold someones hand
As it slips away through your fingers
Slipping away like sand.
Until You Know
What it's like to be alive one day
And lifeless the next
Death struck
Left alone.
Until You Know
What it's like to feel abandoned
By your own blood
Because you were HER daughter
HERS not your SONS.
Until You Know
What it's like to walk around with a target
On your back.
Advancing 5 steps but pushed back 3.
Being forgotten
Not being loved.
Relying on memories
False hope is some hope
Because it's better than none.
You Know
He Knows
She Knows
We know
I Know What It's like.
